  1. @jossives will the calc method work?
  2. @jossives 1) are there errors on n1, n2, and N? 2) why not MC?
  3. Quantum Mechanics When You Close Your Eyes | Cosmic Variance | Discover Magazine blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance…
  4. @RobertTalbert @desmosinc fyi, we'll have the inventor of desmos in Global Physics Department next week #globalphys
  5. hmmm, weird. modeling gyroscope with just 2 masses -> unstable. Put 3rd mass at the axel, stable.
  6. recording link for tonight's #globalphys with Kevin Karplus: sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=20…
  7. @occam98 maybe. The example in the intro video is very similar to some modeling I've done
  8. Please join us in 2 hours for #globalphys with Kevin Karplus (home schooling physics, robotics, and bioinformatics!)
  9. trying to wrap my brain around Wolfram's System Modeler. Interesting
  10. My phys show was a silent auction prize. Off to the winning 3rd grade class now

  12. @drmagoo we interact a lot with 3M who tell us to make teams instead of groups. If one person fails all fail. Hard to do always but it works
  13. @brybatt @bclamore 1 extreme would be to allow Ss to find context to apply process. Not sure that's where I am, though
  14. @MrScottThomas I do think overlap is good, I was just struck by the very similar language of learning outcomes
  15. Quite the slope on this tunnel slide twitter.com/arundquist/sta…
  16. @jsb16 or my version: N3: interacting things swap momentum, N2: different interactions have different swap rates, N1: no swap, no change
  17. @bclamore that's why I'm stuck on sci as process vs content. Can a society be informed if they only know process and not historical results?
  18. #ngss if these standards prove successful (whatever that means), all of HU's non-science-major courses are redundant. Maybe that's good?
  19. #ngss (2/2) take the strong nuclear force. Ss should wonder what holds nuclei together (understand forces) but do they need to study it?
  20. #ngss I'm struggling with science as practice vs science as content. What should everyone in our society know? (1/2)
